Nokia’s PureView camera tech coming to Windows Phone soonish

One of the big – or indeed only – surprises at this year’s Mobile World Congress was the Nokia 808 PureView, shown off first thing on the Monday morning. Bonus points for waiting till the bloody conference actually started, Noks.

The Nokia 808 PureView is notable for having a whopping 41MP camera, and running, er, Symbian Belle. But Microsoft's big baldy Ballmer can dry those tears, as the tech is reportedly on its way to Windows Phone.

I'm not sure it's actually available to buy yet, even in the US. But, I know that when it does come out it'll be a WP7.5 device. Ironically, even though its selling point is the camera, HTC have said the 8mp cameras on the One S and One X are better than the 16mp camera on the Titan 2.
